The Wait
Society does not want me to wait,
Instead they want me to date,
And communicate with duplicate
Copies of you;
Indulge myself in the world's pleasure
Until I find you, my perfect treasure,
Forget my morals and my standards
And satisfy the desire of mere mortals.
Don't get my wrong 'cause I'm not saying
That I can rid the world of all its mayhem.
Mother nature's disasters we can't accurately predict
But our natural reactions we can depict.
So I'll wait until the time is right
It may be either day or night
I know exactly what I want to do;
And that is, I'll continue to wait for you!
So I will no longer date
Or communicate with duplicate
Copies of you;
I will appreciate
The wait,
Until the day I find you
